Achalasia cardia is a rare chronic neurodegenerative disorder of the esophagus characterized by nonperistaltic contraction and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. It is considered as the common leading cause of motor dysphagia and the gold standard treatment to which is operative intervention with Heller’s cardiomyotomy with fundoplication. The choice of type of fundoplication is based on surgeon’s preference. We herein present a case series, comprising of three cases of achalasia cardia managed with laparoscopic Heller’s cardiomyotomy, with two patients had Dor’s anterior fundoplication and one had Toupet’s posterior fundoplication. All the three patients were followed up to the period of one year, and none of them had any post-operative complications.
